[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7920) Move isFamilyEssential(byte[] name) out of Filter interface in 0.94

["Sergey Shelukhin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7920?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13585251#comment-13585251 ] 

Sergey Shelukhin commented on HBASE-7920:
-----------------------------------------

Is it possible to hide the type check somehow? Maybe a static isFamilyEssential method on FilterBase.
Otherwise looks reasonable.

> The addition of isFamilyEssential(byte[] name) in Filter interface in 0.94.5 broke backward compatibility.
> Agreement in subsequent discussions on HBASE-5416 was reached: isFamilyEssential(byte[] name) should be lifted from Filter interface into FilterBase class.
> This would allow 0.94.6 to be compatible with 0.94.1 to 0.94.4 releases.
